We were to match our Bantam boys' team and_=§ our girls' team against their ban- tams and girls. The girls, who lacked experience, didn't fare too well. They were no match for Ajax's girls. On the other hand the boys accounted for themselves. With years of experience in Ajax favor, it was expected to be a one-way game. During the first three quarters, play was equal with each basket accounted for. But in the last quarter, S. Ber- nadette's startled everyone by coming up with 18 points to Ajax's four. The final score was 47-18 in favor of St. Ber- nadette's., 7. ie eit wi. LAGUID Lic No Shows For St. Joe's By MARY GRYGORCEWICZ , (St. JOSEPH'S High) Though other stages in school life, and to the student not as important, is the week or two of exams. During this period other ac- tivities in the school usually slow down or completely stop in order to give students more time for their studies. Students who are quite cheer- ful on the outside have doubts about passing the exams. Some walk around bragging how they don't mind exams, others just say, "I don't have to study, "ll pass". But everyone knows they will have to hit the books sooner or later. Some find the spell before exams a time of freedom since many teachers cut down on homework. Others start pray- ing harder. Parents are inclined to be more strict during these days. Such commands as "no teleévi- sion, no shows, and no visits downtown until exams finish," are common to most teenagers. Whether you are a suffering student or an anxious teacher you too will feel or have al- ready felt the tense hours of the week of exams. Good luck.

This loss took form in the persons of Father Darby, Father Leahey and Father bring their guidance to others. here in Ajax 12 years ago, the parish has grown along with the town, by leaps and bounds. The cornerstone of the pres- ent church at the corner of Bayly street and Harwood ave- nue was laid in 1955, and the building of the adjacent rec- tory soon followed in its wake. The small six-room school grew quickly, spreading over the area belonging to the church. Under the guidance of Father, the establishment now includes kindergarten to Grade 10. Father Darby and Sister Claudette introduced typing to the school in 1963. This year art, music, and bookkeeping are on the curriculum. Father Darby was well-known among the townspeople, and was respected and loved by all. He was known not only as the pastor of St. Bernadette's, but as a warm and sincere person. When the news that he was to leave town became published there was real sorrow among its people, for they were bWsing one of their citiezms of long standing. . Although Father Smythe was here only a short time he made his presence known as a willing and able assistant. He became, in his short while here, known by the pupils of the school, and became a comrade to many. We here at St. Bernadette's feel the loss of these three priests, even more so because they left us at the same mo- ment. We wish them ail -luck and happiness at their new posts. REV. JAMES LEAHEY Four and a half years ago, St. Bernadette's received its first curate, Father James Leahey. Since that time, Father has made his presence very much felf among us, the young peo- ple of the parish. The number of hours Father devoted to the "kids" {is in expressible. Not everyone of course, has sufficient talent or Smythe. They left our parish to Since Father Darby arrived} j Leave At Ajax Parish even to a small degree, but Father has been blessed abun- dantly in this way.
